ifiis herein'oefore set forth, selector switch 3 in responding is maintained in its attracted position through the medium of its associated contacts 3d and the contacts 2d of reversing switch 2. Zowever, upon movement of pilot switch 6 into engagement with its associated contact 6 the Operating wlnding of reversing switch 2 is connected across lines 'LI-L2 and said reversing switch in responding opens its contacts 2d to interrup'; the maintaining Circuit for selector switch 8 closes its contacts '2b to connect armature A and field winding RF in series across lines L1 E..fl for, operation of motor M in its reverse direction. The motor continues to operate in its reverse direction until the energizing Circuit for reversing switch 2 is interrupted by movement of pilot switch d out of engagement with. its associated contact Reversing switch 2 then drops out and since selector switch 3 is now in normal position the motor is stopped under the action of a dynamic braking circuit extending from the left hand terminal of armature A, through the forward field windlng FF. through contacts 5 of selector switch 3, through contacts 2G and lfi of the reversing switches, through resistance P1, through contacts id and 2d of the reversing switches, and by conductor il! to the right hand terminal of armature A.
